At the end of the day, I need a phone that fulfills its function as a phone. 3 hours of screen-off battery life just isn't viable for my lifestyle.

I'm here to support the ecosystem but it needs to start from a place of actually being a part of my real life.

The battery life mentioned in the post is surprisingly low (see my other comment above), but you're misrepresenting it quite drastically. The post talks about the battery being at 60% after 3 hours of screen-off idling, not "3 hours of screen-off battery life".
I am not a heavy user - so not much screen time - and my phone spends 8 hours a work day in flight mode which surely helps. I charge my phone once every 6-7 days.

I know the articles phones are not mainstream. I would like a mobile OS OS :-P and as a light user I am willing to make a few concessions.

But this isn't even in the same league.
